I can't walk by my car without taking it out for a spin. I bought it in late 06 but I drive it sparingly because its precious to me. ALthough, I have taken it out into a grassy muddy field a couple of times to have some fun. I try to limit the car to 10 miles a week. I have 11,000 miles on it since I bought it with 2 miles on the clock.

At first I never drove my car unless it was 67-82 F and it had to be partly cloudy or sunny. Now those days are over. You gotta get out there and enjoy your cars! I used to own a 99 prelude sh pearl white and in 4 years I put 5K in it. (garage kept) the car was immaculate when I sold it and got a hell of a good price for the good condition but seriously, you bought a car, a fun one may i add to drive it. Although, I still fight with myself when I have to drive in the snow or rain.

Mine gets driven a decent amount, but isn't a daily driver. So far I'm averaging about 9k a year.

I drive my evo everywhere.... I can't see myself paying as much as I do for a car and not drive it :-( I mean the temptation to go fast on the streets just isn't there haha I figure if my evo turns into a peice of junk then I'll just buy another one when mine is paid off haha

03 with 25,000. Drive my truck most of the time, but always thinking about driving the E85 powered Evo.

12k miles in 21 months on my Evo and it's been in the rain only twice. I hate to get it dirty so I use it as a nice weather driver only and drive the beater with 280K on it most of the time. Soon it'll be time for the evo to get dirty and stop spending so much time in the garage.

I have just over 9,300 miles on the car since I bought it new in early September 2005 (basically 30 months or 2.5 years)

Actually it was so nice out in NJ today I drove it after work on my way to the gym.

Prior to today the car was sitting in my garage covered (I washed and detailed the car right before covering it) for just over 3 weeks.


I think the car has seen rain 3 maybe 4 times at most and never has seen snow.


Honestly, I work irregular hours and don't get enough time to drive the car.

Even then I have two other cars to drive around.

OK how about 5918 miles on the '03 that I bought brand new? I have like 7 other vehicles so I dont use it much. The fact that she put down 624whp and 512 wtq and that I painted her "arrest me green" dont help

ahhhh that kills me man, its an evo not a ferrari! I see people rocking 50K+++ mercedes every day, I wont tell you want to do... but I think you should spend more time enjoying what you've got.

I bought mine in May 2007 with 35,000 now have 45,000 and have loved every single mile.
